Your milk will continue to develop and change as your lo gets older so it stays a more perfect food. Also I have heard that breast fed babies are less picky eaters as they are older because they get more tastes of different foods through your milk.

There are numerous advantages for baby, in terms of preventing illnesses etc. There are also many advantages for moms who nurse. It helps to prevent cervical and breast cancer, it helps the uterus to contract after pregnancy, and you'd be amazed how quickly you can return to pre baby weight through bf. Lots of info online about it's many benefits. And for me, bf was a very special time with my lo and though it's not always easy it was way worth it in the end.

Less picky eater thing is not true! DD was ebf 13 mo and the pickiest eater! BF'ing gives your LO antibodies. Every time you are sick you pass antibodies on to your LO. Like I said ebf first for 13 mo and my second we are still going at 12 mo. My babies have a wonderful immune system as a result!

To comment on the picky eating thing: I don't honk it makes them a picky eater or not, but I'd they do turnout to be a picky eater then you know that they're at least getting vitamins and nutrition from your milk so you worry less :-)
